In this picture is an artist impression of the combat spacecraft, and it could be one version of "Project Thor", what was mentioned for the high power railgun, what is planned to send to the orbiter. In fact, the "Thor" was not pure railgun, what would use the pure magnetic accelerator. This system was mentioned to be like the extremely powerful airgun. Behind the accelerator was a chamber, what was filled with the hydrogen and oxygen gases, and then this gas combination would be ignited with the electric arc, and that would push the iron projectile to the accelerator.


Then the magnetic rail would give extra speed to that projectile. That magnetic accelerator could have the capacity, that it can be pulled inside the satellite, that nobody sees it from outside. The rail would be kilometers long, and it can be made extremely thin cables and magnets. In the empty space, the rail would need no tube, and that's why it could be very light. This system could accelerate the nail at the speed of 30 000 to 100 000 kilometers per hour, and in that speed, the impact power would be so high, that this weapon can cause similar damages, as the nuclear warhead.


The United States Air Force would be reported that the  6.1 meters long and 0,3 meters thick tungsten cylinder, what have the speed of Mach 10 could have same impact energy as the 11.5 tons of TNT. In this scenario, the railgun seemed like some revolver, where the tungsten arrows were in the revolver-type drum, what would be rotating, and turn the next arrow to the port of the rail. This system might have more deadly models, where would be used longer rails and more electric powers than this original "Odin" system. And this kind of system can someday turn the impacting asteroid away from Earth, but it can also be used for orbital bombardment.


Rail of this machine could be pulled inside when it would not be in use. This system can work with the nuclear reactor, but also solar panels are suitable for that device. When the weapon would be launched, the same mass of fuel must be burned in opposite side of the tube, that the aiming of that system would not be changed. There are rumors, that there would be planning of the even more powerful railgun than this device.


The rumors tell that "Project Odin" could be series of satellites, what would be docked together, and thru those satellites would go the accelerator trajectory. That modular system could give same speed as the "Hadron" accelerator. And the iron ammunition could travel near the speed of light to the target. The iron nail what travels the 90% of the speed of light would have so much impact power, that it would destroy the planets like Jupiter.

There is a suggestion that dark matter may have deformed another universe.

The researchers suggest that dark matter is the deformed dark universe. Or in the most exciting theories, dark matter is the dark universe inside our universe. In that theory dark matter is entangled with the visible material. That theory is taken from the multiverse theory. There our visible universe is one of many universes. The other universes can be invisible because their electrons and quarks are different sizes. And that thing makes those other universes invisible to us.  Another hypothesis is that the hypothetical other universes send radiation that radiation from our universe pushes away. Things like invisible 9th. planet causes ideas that maybe there is another universe in our universe. The thing that makes the mysterious dark matter interesting is that. The dark matter can form structures that can be similar to visible material. But those structures are not visible.  The multiverse theory is not new. The thing in that theory is that there are multiple universes at this moment

The neuroscientists get a new tool, the 1400 terabyte model of human brains.

"Six layers of excitatory neurons color-coded by depth. Credit: Google Research and Lichtman Lab" (SciteechDaily, Harvard and Google Neuroscience Breakthrough: Intricately Detailed 1,400 Terabyte 3D Brain Map) Harvard and Google created the first comprehensive model of human brains. The new computer model consists of 1400 terabytes of data. That thing would be the model. That consists comprehensive dataset about axons and their connections. And that model is the path to the new models or the human brain's digital twins.  The digital twin of human brains can mean the AI-based digital model. That consists of data about the blood vessels and neural connections. However, the more advanced models can simulate electric and chemical interactions in the human brain.  This project was impossible without AI. That can collect the dataset for that model. The human brain is one of the most complicated structures and interactions between neurotransmitters, axons, and the electrochemica

Nano-acoustic systems make new types of acoustic observation systems possible.

' Acoustic diamonds are a new tool in acoustics.  Another way to make very accurate soundwaves is to take a frame of 2D materials like graphene square there is a hole. And then electrons or laser beams can make that structure resonate. Another way is to use the electromagnetic field that resonates with the frame and turns electromagnetic energy into an oscillation in the frame.  Nano-acoustic systems can be the next tool for researching the human body. The new sound-wave-based systems make it possible to see individual cells. Those soundwave-based systems or nano-sonars are tools that can have bigger accuracy. Than ever before. The nano-sonar can use nanodiamonds or nanotubes as so-called nano-LRAD systems that send coherent sound waves to the target. In nanotube-based systems, the nanotube can be in the nanodiamond.  The term acoustic diamond means a diamond whose system oscillates. The system can create oscillation sending acoustic or electromagnetic waves to the diamond. Diamond
